I want to set silverlight DatePicker date format into "MM/dd/yyyy" format. I tried convertors, and setting StringFormat in DisplayDate and SelectedDate properties. No luck so far.
I can not change application wide culture short date format string to achieve this, need this format only in specific DatePicker. 

<controls:DatePicker x:Name="GotoDatePicker2" 
                  SelectedDate="{Binding Date, Mode=TwoWay, NotifyOnValidationError=True}" 
                                     DisplayDate="{Binding Date, Mode=TwoWay}" >
                </controls:DatePicker>

Any workaround regarding this matter ?

It seems you have no easy answer here if you can't change the whole culture as explain here: How to change date format in Silverlight DatePicker control?

For me the best option is to define a custom control template, so you have a full control on the textbox of the datepicker to create the required format.

Hope it helps.
